VB Dice Roller v.1.0
by Benjamin L. Combee
Copyright 1991, Benjamin L. Combee. All rights reserved.
VB Dice Roller is a freeware application written using
Microsoft's Visual BASIC programming environment. It simulates the bags
of dice game players constantly keep with them. To use VB Dice Roller
(DICEROLL.EXE), just use the "Run..." command from either the Program
Manager or MS-DOS Executive's "File" menu. If you want to use it many
times, just install it into a Program Manager group using the "New..."
command. You must have a copy of the Visual BASIC runtime DLL in your
WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory in order to use the program. The DLL is easily
available on most BBS's and information services.
In the program, you select the type of die using the option
buttons on the left side of the window. Only one type of die may be
selected at one time. The number of sides on the die is shown after the
"d". You can select the number of dice to roll in the scroll box on the
right. The box ranges from 1 to 12. When you have made your choices,
clicking on the "Roll Dice" button will cause the computer to generate a
new random number corresponding to your selections. To exit the program,
you can either click on the "Exit Program" button or chose "Close" from
the system menu. To bring up an "About..." box, just click on the title
at the top of the window. To minimize the window, you can either click on
the down arrowhead in the upper right corner or select "Minimize" from the
system menu.

VB Dice Roller v.1.0 was developed using Microsoft Visual
Basic v.1.0 on a PC Systems AMD386-33 clone with MS DOS 5.0 and MS Windows
3.0. It has been tested at 1024x768, 800x600, and 640x480 resolutions. I
am not responsible for any damages done to your system or loss of time
caused by or related to the use of this program. (By the way, I really,
REALLY doubt it will hurt anything. Just making sure no one can come up
with some weird case against me.)
I am accessable on the MetroLink network as BEN COMBEE, and
participate in the RelayNet WINDOWS conference also as BEN COMBEE. I will
be leaving for college at Georgia Tech in late September 1991, so my
network links may be gone, but I will still be reachable at the above
address.
REMEMBER: You must have a copy of the Visual BASIC runtime DLL somewhere
in your WINDOWS\SYSTEM or WINDOWS directory to use DICEROLL.EXE.
